another_o clear_a and_o easy_a way_n to_o find_v out_o the_o true_a church_n to_o try_v all_o church_n by_o the_o true_a catechism_n and_o see_v which_o of_o they_o all_o say_v it_o true_o believe_v

to_o the_o principle_n doctrine_n and_o practice_n of_o the_o true_a church_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n be_v indeed_o a_o way_n that_o i_o do_v very_o well_o approve_v of_o and_o if_o all_o

not_o to_o be_v the_o true_a church_n and_o the_o chief_a argument_n by_o he_o produce_v to_o prove_v she_o the_o true_a church_n i_o have_v already_o in_o brief_a answer_v again_o a._n s._n in_o his_o 6_o chapter_n make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o prove_v the_o church_n to_o be_v the_o judge_n of_o all_o controversy_n in_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o say_v that_o not_o every_o man_n nor_o

ans_fw-fr to_o
she_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n second_o again_o a.s._n say_v and_o diabolical_o affirm_v in_o the_o second_o page_n of_o his_o pretend_a reconciler_n of_o religion_n that_o the_o true_a church_n be_v compose_v of_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a wheat_n and_o tare_n which_o i_o do_v abominate_a to_o acknowledge_v and_o be_v blasphemy_n in_o he_o to_o affirm_v for_o the_o true_a church_n be_v build_v of_o live_v stone_n 1_o pet._n 2.5_o elect_a and_o precious_a or_o as_o a.s._n affirm_v of_o live_v believer_n but_o no_o live_a believer_n can_v be_v true_o call_v the_o bad_a nor_o the_o tare_n but_o elect_v and_o precious_a and_o all_o that_o be_v live_v or_o precious_a be_v the_o good_a therefore_o the_o true_a church_n be_v build_v of_o the_o good_a only_o three_o but_o if_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n which_o a.s._n in_o his_o second_o page_n affirm_v be_v the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v compose_v of_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a then_o according_a to_o his_o own_o affirmation_n the_o kingdom_n of_o christ_n be_v part_v good_a and_o part_v bad_a which_o be_v horrid_a blasphemy_n in_o a.s._n to_o affirm_v oh_o gross_a darkness_n and_o confusion_n be_v thou_o a_o member_n of_o that_o church_n that_o call_v itself_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n oh_o dark_a dull_a gloomy_a light_n the_o lord_n god_n almighty_n bring_v all_o his_o people_n out_o of_o that_o

it_o be_v four_o but_o if_o you_o say_v that_o christ_n liken_v the_o kingdom_n to_o a_o net_n that_o be_v cast_v into_o the_o sea_n which_o gather_v of_o all_o kind_n i_o answer_v he_o do_v so_o yet_o when_o it_o come_v to_o land_n there_o be_v none_o compose_v or_o gather_v into_o the_o vessel_n but_o the_o good_a only_o and_o the_o bad_a be_v cast_v away_o matth._n 13.48_o therefore_o the_o true_a church_n be_v not_o compose_v of_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a but_o of_o the_o good_a only_o five_o but_o if_o you_o object_n that_o the_o tare_n and_o wheat_n be_v both_o to_o grow_v together_o in_o the_o field_n i_o answer_v they_o be_v so_o until_o the_o harvest_n and_o the_o field_n be_v the_o world_n mat._n 13.39_o but_o the_o true_a church_n be_v not_o of_o the_o wo●ld_n joh._n 17.14_o but_o when_o the_o reaper_n be_v send_v forth_o which_o be_v the_o angel_n that_o have_v the_o gospel_n to_o preach_v rev._n 14_o 6._o who_o go_v to_o disciple_v people_n and_o to_o baptize_v they_o

say_v that_o there_o be_v some_o in_o the_o true_a church_n in_o the_o apostle_n day_n that_o be_v false_a brethren_n and_o these_o be_v bad_a i_o answer_v though_o they_o be_v among_o they_o yet_o they_o be_v not_o of_o they_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1_o john_n 2.19_o therefore_o the_o true_a church_n be_v not_o compose_v of_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a but_o of_o the_o good_a only_o but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o five_o part_n of_o a.s._n his_o argument_n where_o he_o say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v know_v to_o the_o world_n in_o her_o bishop_n pastor_n and_o believer_n etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o she_o be_v visible_a answ_n although_o that_o prove_v her_o visible_a yet_o it_o do_v not_o prove_v she_o to_o be_v the_o true_a church_n but_o the_o contrary_a for_o the_o true_a church_n that_o be_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n be_v not_o know_v to_o the_o world_n john_n 17.14_o but_o the_o visible_a church_n of_o rome_n be_v know_v to_o the_o world_n as_o a.s._n himself_o affirm_v therefore_o she_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n but_o the_o contrary_n again_o the_o true_a church_n wrestle_v not_o with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n neither_o be_v her_o weapon_n carnal_a but_o spiritual_a and_o she_o wrestle_v with_o spiritual_a wickedness_n that_o be_v in_o the_o high_a place_n and_o break_v down_o the_o strong_a hold_v of_o iniquity_n 2_o cor._n 10.3_o 4._o but_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n wrestle_v with_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o kill_v man_n body_n about_o religion_n as_o the_o whole_a christendom_n know_v and_o the_o spiritual_a wickedness_n be_v still_o stand_v in_o she_o as_o afore_o prove_v and_o as_o all_o the_o world_n sufficient_o know_v therefore_o she_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n six_o the_o infallibleness_n of_o the_o true_a church_n of_o which_o christ_n be_v supreme_a head_n and_o governor_n i_o do_v not_o go_v about_o to_o deny_v but_o that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v infallible_a that_o i_o do_v deny_v for_o first_o although_o a.s._n have_v affirm_v that_o she_o have_v always_o remain_v since_o christ_n time_n unto_o this_o day_n without_o interruption_n etc._n etc._n yet_o he_o never_o

such_o thing_n then_o find_v in_o she_o as_o be_v now_o find_v in_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n and_o which_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n be_v now_o find_v in_o by_o which_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o she_o have_v not_o always_o remain_v since_o christ_n time_n in_o the_o state_n she_o now_o stand_v second_o but_o if_o she_o have_v always_o remain_v since_o christ_n time_n to_o this_o day_n without_o interruption_n a●_n a.s._n say_v she_o have_v than_o she_o can_v possible_o be_v the_o true_a church_n for_o the_o true_a church_n be_v interrupt_v since_o the_o resurrection_n and_o ascension_n of_o christ_n and_o yet_o remain_v as_o hereafter_o i_o shall_v show_v and_o in_o the_o apostle_n day_n her_o interruption_n begin_v and_o some_o of_o the_o apostle_n foresee_v it_o and_o say_v of_o yourselves_o shall_v man_n arise_v speak_v perverse_a thing_n act_n 20.30_o and_o when_o they_o be_v arisen_a they_o withstand_v the_o truth_n as_o janne_n and_o jambres_n withstand_v moses_n 2_o tim._n 3.8_o so_o here_o the_o interruption_n of_o the_o true_a church_n begin_v and_o after_o this_o john_n see_v the_o dragon_n interrupt_v or_o persecute_v she_o into_o the_o

church_n of_o rome_n have_v always_o remain_v since_o christ_n time_n without_o interruption_n therefore_o she_o be_v not_o the_o true_a church_n three_o and_o whereas_o a.s._n far_a say_v that_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n shall_v always_o remain_v to_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n and_o therefore_o she_o be_v infallible_a i_o answer_v he_o have_v not_o at_o all_o confirm_v that_o by_o any_o
